so, if we use military force, is to beat us not the israelis. if the israelis their biggest airplane is an f- 15. military strike against hardened nuclear sites is a complicated endeavor. from their point of view, it is better than doing nothing. from my point of view, if we engaged in military operations as the last resort, the united states should have a goal of changing the regime. not by invading the country, but i wanted military strike from land and sea -- but from launching a military strike from land and sea and that the revolutionary guard ceases to be an effective organizatio to punch back. if you have to use military force, i think our goal should be not only to neuter their nuclear program, but to destroy the regime's ability to fight back against our troops in the region hand against our allies. that, ladies and gentlemen, is no small matter to contelate. that is a very serious escalating step that i would now like to go down the road as much as anybody in this room. thatf you'll believe sanctions will not work, i am here to tell yo

the events of the past few weeks have kept us busy. we are working to support direct talks between the israelis and palestinians, and next week i will travel to egypt and jerusalem for the second round of these negotiations. in iraq where the combat mission has ended, we are transitioning to an unprecedented civilian-led partnership. we are stepping up international pressure anhalon iran. we're working with pakistan as it recovers from the devastating floods and continues to combat violent extremism. and of course, the war in afghanistan is always at the top of our minds and agenda. none of these challenges exist in isolation. consider the middle east peace talks. at one level they are bilateral negotiations involving two people and a relatively small strip of land. step back and it becomes clear how close the regional dimensions of what started last week are. what a significant role institutions like the quartet, consisting of the united states and russia and the european union and the u.n., as well as the arab league, are playing. eq
